At over 2.2 million, Hindus in America now form the fifth largest religious group, after Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. However Hindus are often mischaracterized in textbooks and academia and are not well understood by the majority. And as New Americans, we do not yet know how to fully engage with the government to address our needs and to harness our talents to serve America.
